Experience has taught us that-

– no one nation has the power or the wisdom to solve all the problems of the world or manage its revolutionary tides-

-that extending our commitments does not always increase our security-

-that any initiative carries with it the risk of a temporary defeat-

-that no free people can be kept free without will and energy of their own-

-that nuclear weapons cannot prevent subversion-

-and that no two nations or situations are exactly alike.

Funny,
It is the “neo-neocon” term I wasn’t familiar with, and still observe it as “neoconservative”(correct me if i’m wrong),

whether the comment was on that of the current President’s exemplification or all, or of need at this time; of all I’m not sure…

Sue Generis of the Kennedy view to description of some words,

It’ll open a bunch of horizons.

You are basing your political disagreement on whom your mom liked or disliked. And you’re telling someone else to grow up? Hello here, Freudian psychoanalysis need have maybe?

a.) you could actually read French to see what’s really going on over there

b.) you got over your crush on Sarkozy. My Mom (who’s about your age and edu level) had a huge crush on Khadaffi forever, in spite of his human rights/news record.

Sorry to sound so insulting because I know that, at heart, you seem to be an intelligent and sensible individual. Just the same: please grow up and do a bit of looking outside yourself. It’ll open a bunch of horizons.

President Bush is not one of the kiss a**, ‘style’ , leaders the public has came to expect as a result of 8 years of the greatest con jobs, and failures, in the history of the country. He is one of the ‘this is what is right’, do it leaders. For a country that survived 8 years of cons, lying and corruption (a quick search will show this is true, more corrupt members of the Slick administration than even the Nixon joke) with no real leadership, we are lucky to have any type of leadership.

Prostate. And to this layman’s eye, Fred looks the healthier.

Besides, your Teddy wants to take away our guns, which we’re going to be needing.

And if what his Vice President is Teddy Roosevelt, ala Guiliani?

We’re better off with somebody who won’t croak on us.

I think Fred Thompson will announce his candidacy soon…and he’ll get my vote.

During all untold millenia of human history every tribe and clan needed chieftain, autority to obey and follow, and this need is not only pragmatical, but spiritual as well. Under democracy it also exists, as Pericles example shows. Athens could not live without him: even when he lost popularity and was put into exile, they found that their city-state can not function properly, and he was invited again to lead them. The role of US President is most alike role of Pericles in Athens: military commander and strategist combined with moral authority and orator, giving clear formulas representing popular sentiments or directing them. Communication skills are crucial to this role, just as moral integrity and “vision” of big picture. These qualities were so visible in two most successful presidents, Kennedy and Reagan.
